California-Compliant Packaging for Cannabis & CBD Products
California cannabis regulations require specific packaging standards including child-resistant features, opaque materials, and compliant labeling. Flexible Poly Industries provides cannabis packaging solutions that meet California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) requirements — formerly the Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC) — for licensed cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, and dispensaries.
Whether you operate a dispensary, cultivation facility, or manufacturing operation, we supply the poly bags, opaque packaging, and custom printed bags you need to stay compliant while presenting your brand professionally. Los Angeles is the largest cannabis market in the world — and we are your local packaging partner right here in Pasadena.
Cannabis packaging compliance in California is detailed and strictly enforced. Under the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), all cannabis products must be packaged in tamper-evident, child-resistant packaging that does not imitate packaging of products marketed to children. Packaging must be opaque so the contents are not visible from outside, and it must be resealable if the product contains multiple servings. Non-compliance can result in product recalls, fines, and license suspension — making proper packaging a business-critical requirement.
The cannabis edibles market presents unique packaging challenges. Each serving must be individually wrapped or clearly separated within the package, and the total THC per package is capped at 100mg for adult use. Packaging must display the universal THC symbol, batch and lot numbers, testing laboratory information, manufacture and expiration dates, and health warnings — all within specific size and placement requirements. Our custom printing capability handles these complex labeling requirements while maintaining your brand identity.
Beyond regulatory compliance, cannabis brands use packaging as a primary differentiator in a crowded market. With restrictions on traditional advertising channels, the bag or container that holds your product is often the most visible piece of your marketing. Custom printed opaque bags with your brand logo, strain information, and compliant labeling help your products stand out on dispensary shelves while meeting all DCC requirements.
We serve the full spectrum of California cannabis operations — from craft cultivators in the Emerald Triangle packaging flower for distribution, to Los Angeles-based edible manufacturers running production lines, to dispensary operators who need compliant exit bags for customer purchases. Our proximity in Pasadena means fast delivery to cannabis businesses throughout Southern California, and we ship statewide for operations outside the LA area.
Each product is selected specifically for cannabis packaging applications and ships from our Los Angeles facility.

Common questions about poly bags and packaging for cannabis packaging.
California requires cannabis packaging to be child-resistant (meeting ASTM D3475 standards), tamper-evident (showing clear evidence of opening), opaque (contents not visible from outside), and resealable if containing multiple servings. Labels must include the universal THC symbol, batch/lot numbers, testing results, manufacture and expiration dates, net weight, licensee information, and government health warnings. Requirements are detailed in DCC Title 4 regulations.
We supply opaque poly bags and resealable bags that are part of compliant packaging systems. Our bags can be designed to meet ASTM D3475 child-resistant standards when used as specified. For certified child-resistant packaging solutions, we work with you to ensure your complete packaging system meets DCC requirements. Contact us to discuss your specific product format and compliance needs.
Yes. Custom printing up to 6 colors for all required labeling including the universal THC symbol at the mandated minimum size, batch numbers, testing laboratory results, health warnings, potency information, ingredient lists for edibles, and your brand identity. Our print team reviews artwork for DCC labeling compliance before production.
Edibles require opaque, child-resistant, resealable packaging with THC dosage information per serving and per package. Multi-serving products must clearly indicate individual serving sizes. We supply gusseted and resealable bags that accommodate these requirements, with custom printing for the detailed nutritional and potency labeling that edibles require.
Type I child-resistant packaging (also called single-use) is designed to be child-resistant before and after opening — it cannot be reclosed by a child. Type II (reclosable) is child-resistant each time it is reclosed, which is required for multi-serving cannabis products. The type you need depends on whether your product is single-serve or multi-serve. We can help you determine the right option.
